Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Tertiary Phase: Behind the Scenes

After the tragic event of Douglas Adams' death, the original cast of the radio series came together to honour his memory by turning the three remaining HHGG books (Life, Universe and Everything, So Long and Thanks for all the Fish and Mostly Harmless) into radio series. This is behind the scenes footage of the making of the first of these radio series.

I can understand age being an issue for most of the blokes, but Mark Wing-Davey looks incredible and easily could have--nay, should have--reprized Zaphod in the film.

@doive1231 It's a radio series. What would be the point of doing up the costumes and set?

[doive1231]

Crap costumes and crap set. Doesn't even look as though they've tried.

William Franklin looks like Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader though. Nice one.

I'm so used to relate the voices with the characters and my mental picture of them, that is really wierd to look at the actors and heard those voices O_o

In in the end, Radio is the place where The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy truly belongs.

In fact I consider the radio play or invisible theatre the best medium bar books.

Douglas made complete versions of the last three novels both written and audio script doing ALL the charecters, and tried to persuade the BBC to do them.

Sadly he wasn't sucessfull in his lifetime.

He actually said to a BBC producer " who do you think should play Agrajag?"

The bloke started giving a list of comics names and Douglas bellowed at him "ME".

Quite right too Douglas, after all who else could do it justice?
